[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kerry is tedious. I’d be happy to see the last of her. 
I love all the subtle textural elements of the actors’ performances. Sometimes an eyebrow raise or slight tilt of the head has me dead![/quote]

+1 on Kerry. I thought the anchor audition was hilarious and the actress did a good job with that, but otherwise I find her delivery really flat and I don't think she's the source of tension that the show wants her to be, because she has zero chemistry with Logan and the kids are so much more interesting and funny when they interact with her. So she just feels like a non-entity. I think the issue is that she is not given enough to do other then look serious and severe and show up in places where everyone kind of wishes she wasn't.

Regarding the thing about actor's reactions, I remember reading about how the show is shot a couple years ago, and this is a filmmaking technique they use a lot, where they will keep a camera on characters who are not actually in dialogue or the focus of the scene, just to see how they react and see if there is anything they want to include. It's clever and it pulls you in while also being disorienting. I think it also forces the actors to work harder because they never know when the camera might be on them, and they have to really stay present and in character when they shoot these scenes.
